I have no volume on my desktop PC


MS W7 IE11


Volume icon is showing


Under system, device manager, everything seems to be OK


Any suggestions please
I'm hopeless with technology, in addition, I suffer with MH issues, what may appear simple, I struggle with, may I ask, please be patient, thank you

    You wrote that everything is OK in the Device Manager. So why are you trying to install a Driver/Update program?

    Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Manage Audio Devices

    When I click on the volume icon by the clock, tick unmute, no sound comes from the PC.


    The speakers are connected via a cable into the back of the PC tower.

    even though you've unmuted it, have you moved the volume slider up from zero??

    cable from the pc in the correct socket on the pc? do you have front & back audio out sockets, if so is it the same in both? beginning to run out of ideas now :(
